Windows 7: Will not connect automatically to router

I think this time 2xg was talking about the connections not the adaptors, (see his first link) and I do believe under the connection properties somewhere there is a list of preferred networks and an option to connect to preferred connections automaticly.

Dreamhunter - Pls follow the directions on those 2 links that I have provided in Post No. 9.

When I try to delete a network on the 'basic network information' page using a right click on the networks name, nothing happens, a left click give me the connection status.

When I go to Manage wireless networks, there are no networks listed to remove, even though I am connected to one. Then when I try to add a network, I enter all the correct info (I did this for both networks available) I get a box stating "Access is denied".

Fortunately I can get connected by going to the systray and connecting to a network. If I could not do that, I could not send and receive these messages.

Dreamhunter, I waited to see if others could give a successful answer to your problem as I had similar recently. Here's what I did.
First, connect your wireless pc to the router with a cable, change the SSID & Password, making sure the encryption type is compatible for your adapter. Power off the pc, power off the router, wait 1 minute and restart it, waiting till all lights show connected then restart your pc, enter new password. Now if it works, old connections can be trashed.

If you had a stable connection thru another Wi-Fi location, the issue might be coming from your own wireless network. Can be interference...... Try changing the wireless channel to either 1, 6 or 11 from your router. See which one you can get a steady connection.

Also, updating the router's firmware to the latest will be a great idea. You may download it from the manufacturer's site. Use a wired connection to install the firmware.

Today, I have been able to stay connected for several hours through the camp grounds wireless system.

I was going to add in my previous post asking if you own the router, I was too late.

Anyway, let's see if there's really a signal issue, perhaps we can recommend some high-gain device.
Install and run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector.
Click on the 'Show Networks' to display all wireless networks on the xirrus icon on your desktop if you have one running in a corner. Tap the Printscreen key on your keyboard, open up Paint then choose Edit from the Menu and select Paste, then SAVE it. Upload and attached it here.

2xg, I know it is not a signal strength problem as I have the same problem with my own in-RV router that is 10 feet from the PC, but I am not using it for internet connection any more, just in-RV connection to other PCs when needed. The campground signal shows all bars lighted.

Will not connect automatically to router

Connect router wirelessly to main routerRecently I bought a TP-Link WR841N router and, unaware of what it needed, there had to be an ethernet cable coming from the main router (BT Homehub 3) for it to work. Is there any way I can connect these two wirelessly? I don't mind whatever way I connect it to my PC.
